Located on the SE side of Coomduff and overlooking the Cummeragh river, this site consists of a row of three stones incorporated into a low cairn. The row is oriented NE-SW and is c. 7m long. The stone at NE is 1.7m high and measures .7m x .65m at base. The second stone, appreciably taller, stands 1.75m to SW; it is 3.3m high and measures .95m x .75m at base. The third stone stands on edge 2.2m further to SW; measuring 2.5m x 1m, it stood in an upright position up to the 1930s (local information). The cairn consists of a platform-like terrace of stone and measures 7.6m long and up to 1m high above the ground level on its SE side. A quantity of quartz is evident in its composition. The landowner indicated that the cairn was originally larger, and that it was faced on its downslope side. O'Connell reported that a 'bronze staff was found in it (1939a, 31), but the present location of this object is unknown. The site is locally referred to as the 'Cloughane'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 107.
